Vol. ?OflO;..No. I NAZARETH COLLEGE, ROCHESTER, N. Y.
FROM THE PASTOR -FATHER SHANNON
Early t.bls summ~r I began to clve some thoucht to the subject
of this article: "The Identity CriJis of Today's College Student." II
all started when I wu ull:ed to give 1 talk at a eonvention of New·
man Club c:baplains on the practical and challenging topic: " How to
teach Theology to College Studenll." As I began thinldng about this
topic, ll seemed evident that It could not be adequately discussed
'!bout attempting some preliminary insigbll about today's college
student, the way he thinks and the Influences that affect him. For this
reason. t a-pent some time relleclinc on questions lii(e tne following:
What kind of person Is the college student of 11166? How does he re·
fleet the temper of the times? What problems does he encounter ln
. his search for personal Identity? What does he think about Christian·
ity and the Church?
Then, when Anno Walton a sked me to. write an article for Gle.:.ner,
U occurred to me that the students of Nazareth College, both "old
and "new," mlgbt perhaps be Interested ln some of the tentative an·
swus that I offered to the Newman Club chaplains on these questions.
So I present you the following reflections, hoping lor your comments
and reactloo.t.
1. The collece studeoll of today live In a pluralistic society; and
they are so Influenced by the pluralism of that society-with its rela·
tlvizatioo of values and Ita empbuis on freedom and eclecticism­that
they find It much more difficult than earlier generations to accept
absolutes 111 any area of We, and particularly in the fields of theology
and morality. This, I think, accounts for the popularity of Jobu A. T.
Robinsons' boob: his Roeest to Gocl (a rather poor book which, bow·
ever, menaces to uy some mighty good thincs) and his Qarlsllaa
orals TodiJ'. Thls aeeouoll, too, for the faselnatioo that situation
ethics in its most extreme form bas for today's eollege student.
2. The coUece suclenll today live 111 an urbanized, technological
'e(y, where prasmatlsm is the re~ pbllosophy and where sec·
alar values are most blcblY prlud. They are interested in this world
and want to become involved ln Ill problems (whether it be the racial
Issue or the war 111 VIet Nam); and If reliclon seems to them to have
turned Ill back on th1s world or seems to offer them lltUe that is
lmpo.rt•nt for • thb -workl involvement. then. lD their estimate . so
much the worst for reUcion. They refuse to be content with a philos·
ophy or theology of We which seems to offer them only " pie in the
s11:y when you dle." They are very much Interested in " pie on the
table now." In other words, they are students who read and are lm·
pressed by Harvey Cox and the Seeular City.
3. They are part of a world that Is not so much inellgious as non·
reUclous. It is a world "that,." 111 Bonhoeffet's enlgmatie phrase,
"God ls being Increasingly edged out of, now that it has come of age."
It is a world ln which many men have lumed to eope with all ques·
lions of Importance without referenee to God and religion. In such
a world it Is understandable that college students would be attracted
by Dietrich Bonhoclfer with his "rellglonless Christianity" and even
by Hamilton, Van Buren and Altizer with their radical .. "death of
God" theology.
They belong, these students, to an 11e that Is strongly Influenced
by existential thinking- which exalts human freedom, authenticity,
honesty and openness. They want, desperately, to be themselves,
however difllcult they find the quest for personal Identity. They want
to think for themselves, stand on their own feet, a.nd be thei.r own
consciences. They are unwilling to accept their beliefs merely seco~d·
banded. They are wary of paternalism and susptcious of authonty
that o'lerates with a heavv hand and without dialogue. They abhor
sham 'and pretense. Rellglous practices that are merely sllallow,
irrelevant extemallzations they find unattractive and meaningless.
True they sometimes eonfuse authenticity with self·asse.rtiveness,
and o~ess with an almost brutal t'l'ankness. At times their passion
for freedom b not always aceompanied by a corresPOnding sense of
re•poosibillty. Yet simply to write oU these values that they pri>e as
extremist gestures bem of youthful Immaturity, is to misunderstand
their genuine concern to achieve authenUe personal growth.
s They live ln an ace In which the Church bas beeome what Karl
Rahn~r eall• the "Church of the Dlaspora." By this be means that
Christians exist evuywbere 111 the world as small minorities Jiving
out their Uvea ln the midst of professional life, polltleal We and cui·
tllral We which in Its conscious motivation is not CbriJtian.
Being a CbriJUan today, therefore, no longer involves being
brought to Church ID one's pa.rents• arms: being ele~ by .the
ftters of baptism and then llvinJ in a tradttlonaUy Cbri.Stian socte(y
that makes no e~aorcllnary demands on personal faith, pusonal c<lll·
science personal responsibility. Today the faith of the ChriJUan 15
constUUy challenced and threatened from without. Increasingly faith
Is a risk. Thls mnna that more and more faith becomes a .matter of
individual cholee and personal eommltment, without reliance, as
heretofore on a Christian inheritance from the past. In such a world
u ch Cbrl~tlan must be won afresh to Christianity In some period of
Ills life.

Message From The President
This September marks the 42nd year since the opening
of Nazareth College of Rochester. In the name of the faculty
and students, it is my pleasure to welcome this year's Fresh·
man Class numbering 340 young women.
Students returning to the campus will find some
changes. The new dormitory for 80 will be named O'Connor
Hall to honor the late Sister Teresa Marie O'Connor, who as
Dean was founder and the first chief executive officer of
Nazareth College. When the new dormitory now on the draw .
ing boards is completed. the name O'Connor will be trans·
ferred and the present O'Connor Hall will become a faculty
office building.
Because of the large number of residents, a full·time
Dean of Resident Students will relieve the ever increasing re·
sponsbility of the Dean of Students, Sister Josephine Louise.
Sister Marie Christine whose qualifications an<! experi·
ence you will read of elsewhere in this issue, assumes full
responsibility for all aspects of resident life.
To replace Sister Austin who bas been appointed to
teach mustc in the Rochester schools, Sister Marie Martin
will assume the office of the Director of Resident Services.
The departure of Sister Mariana, former Director of
Placement, for our Brazilian Missions occasioned the ap­pointment
of Mrs. Patrick McKeown (Kathleen Scanlon. class
of 1962), to the Placement Bureau.
A change that will be noted by all Students is the re­modeling
of the bookstore. Rising enrollment and requests
for additional service features in the bookstore led to our
enlisting the help of a firm specializing in college book·
stores. Mrs. O'Day will continue as manager on the Naza.
reth c:ampus.

rewarding and most frustratmg hours of your life. You will
share sorrows and joys, triumphs and disappointments and,
in this sharing, develop Into a woman ready to meet the
challenge of marriage, a career, or a vocation. We know
you're anxious to start right awa't and have prepared an
exciting week of orientation- religtous, academic, and social
-to acquaint you with your new surroundings.
But this week will not end your lntroductlon at Naza.

ure to be able to get you
started on your academic
roads to success. We'll be
working together for the
next two semesters, laying a
foundation for the three
years to follow.
To start, you've all read
the books assigned during
the s u m m e r . Discussion
groups will be held during
the evenings of Sept. 21,
Sept. 28, and Oct. 5. They
will be conducted by AOL's
(Academic Orientation Lead·
ers) who are prepared to lead
discussions on parts of the
reading you find most inter­esting.
Don't hesitate to
voice your opinions. You may
not even think you have any,
but you'll be amazed at what
will be hidden in the back of
your mind when the discus·
sion·gets going. If the ques·
lions appear difficult - feel
easy because they're ~up��posed
to. We want you to
learn bow to think and, as
you can see, th.is is one way
to starl So come to the meet·
ing free of mind and open to
discussion. Come to listen,
fitter, and absorb. The flna}
details will be explained in
your class hour, so keep both
ears open and bring pad and
pencil.
The films to be shown dur·
ing Orientation will explore
such problems as individual
freedom vs. tyranny, interior
commitment vs. doubt, and
man as being . to . another.
Watch for announcements
and reviews both on the
bulletin boards an in the
Gleaner.
As you can well see-there
is so much to see. hear, and
do. So plan to get as much
out of college as it puts in
for you. This month's pro­gram
is a good start. See you
there.

Why College?
Why Nazareth?
Hi! '70-we're glad to have you at Naza·
reth.
The title questions of this editorial resur·
rect, we assume, some very recent, very
difficult and possibly very painful memo­ries
of your own battles with them. The
struggle, however (ask any upperclassman!),
is not yet over; for these questions, which
indicate neither misplacement nor disloyalty
but intelligent self·mterest, ask themselves
each day of your college carer. And without
ever bemg answered.
The perennial "Is College for You" leaf­let
runs the entire gamut from pragmati·
cisms to idealisms in its taxonomy of the
advantages afforded by a continued aca·
demic career. And one is presented, in the
typical college tatalog, with every facility,
advantage, opportunity, or distinction re­motely
connected with said institution.
From such erudite propaganda, in addition
to advice from enthusiastic alumnae, and
perhaps a hurried tour around campus, the
very vital decisions of "should I go to col·
lege?", and "where?" are effected. The in­evitable,
but regrettable, result of this
rather chance system of selection (on the
part of the student, remember; administra­tive
selection programs are anything but
random, as all us middle-third, margin·
rankers well know) is the number of stu·
dents, however small (and Nazareth's num.
ber is exceptionally meager) who end up in
the wrong institution and transfer and, even
·more regrettably the dissatisfied ones who
don't transfer.
Insufficient knowledge is itself, of course
not responsible for dissatisfaction. Rather'
when inadequacies in· the system are mei
by ambitions within the individual (or vice
versa), a certain and very mutual disorien·
tation is immediately evident. These, how·
ever, must be serious inadequacies and im-
GLEANER
portant ambitions to arouse dissatisfaction
extensive enough to cause withdrawal, and
it is hoped that these students will with·
draw and attend the institution better able
to meet their needs.
This is not to say, of course, that less
serious inadequacies and ambitions, whether
of the institution or of the students, are to
be merely borne with. Contrarily, it is this
set of conditions with which the members
of an institution may contend as a cooper•·
live body. This cooperation prflupposes in
the student portion of the acting body, an
at least temporary affirmation of academic
vocation and general satisfaction with the
educative system which inspirits its chosen
college or university; it results from tbe
general desire for the most and the best
that the system can provide. This desire
leads (or ought to lead) to a thorough inves·
ligation and evaluation of the institution's
assets and liabilities: academic, administra­tive,
procedural, and policy.
It is at this point that our editorial ques­tions
challenge the individual student most
forthrightly. Still without answer, each
question faces the evaluation squarely, and
forces student commitment to the very im·
portant problem of academic fulfillment.
Whether he decides that the status quo is
satisfactory or that improvement must be
made, the decision is both personally sig·
nificant and academically valuable. What
is more important, he has met the challenge
of the questions, that, like the fox of the
Spartan boy, "gnaw at the vitals" of every
student intent on securing for himself the
fullest way of life possible. He and his in­stitution
are mutually committed.
But how does one go about excavating
such information? And what is the criteria
by which a fair evaluation can be made?
It is Gleaner's contention that, while inves·
ligation may be a coporate effort, evalua­tion
must be chiefly individual. (However,
it must be remembered that it is individual
evaluations that are responsible for the
formation of the pro·reform assemblages.)
And since it has been evident in the past
(witness the 1966 campaign speeches) that,
at Nazareth, student understanding of the
policies, procedures, facilities, and admin·
istrative and faculty organizations is in most
cases minimal (the blame rests in no one
area), we also feel that the student publi­cation
is the proper medium through which
such information may be transmitted.
An article in each subsequent issue of
Gleaner will be concerned with this "in­vestigation."
As bas been evident in the
past, members of the faculty and the ad­ministration
have been more than willing
to answer our questions. It is up to us to do
tb~ asking. Any questions, suggestions or
optmons should be directed, in letter. to the
editors. '? 7 ? ""/

From Your Student
Government President;
II is always nice to return to
Nazareth in the Fall- to see old
friends and to return to familiar
places- but also to see new races
and to make new friends. The
prospeCt of an entirely new
freshman class is indeed an ex·
dting one for Nazareth returnees.

she is and bow much of a success
she ma.kes of her college years.
Some basic and all-encompassing
advice which might be handed
down to freshmen is that a col
lege provides the student only
with the opPOrtunity !or success.
Whether or not you take advan­tag-
e of this OPPOrtunity and the
way in which you go about it is
up to you.

that you don't have time to listen
to yourseU and to those around
you.
Nazareth offers many opPQr·
tunities to join clubs, to work on
social projects and to earn money
through campus employment. No
pressures will be placed on you
to join or to participate in any
activity. Don't expect to be able
to belong to as many groups as
your high school work load al·
lowed; however, don't cut your­sell
of! entirely from extracur·
ricu.Jar activities. Ag.Un, it is left

experienced students to the In·
coming frosh. The eager fresh·
man will soon bave a complet"
knowledge of what to wear and
when, the most successful study
habits, all professors' marldng
systems and knows just what the
odds are that she will be asked
for a date at her first Nazareth
mixer.
Sometimes, when we are pass·
ing out advice, in our fervor to
help the freshmen adjust quickly
and completely, we upperelass·
men try to cover every little de­tail
of college llfe and to give an­swers
to all queries. Knowing a
lot of particular facts about 'what
things are like at Nazareth will
help a new student to come to
know her way around, but such
a knowledge does not guarantee a
student's adjustment to or suc·
cess at Nazareth College.
The individual student's attl·
tude will determine how happy
One of the first characteristics
of the Nazareth scene which you
will soon discover is that of the
freedom of student choice. You
will have to know yoursell well
realizing your strength$ and lim:
itations. It is imPOr14nt that you
begin your college days by mak­ing
your own decisions concern­ing
bow successful you wish to
be in college, those areas in
which you wish to excel and how
you can best achieve that sue·
cess.
Surely you have been told be·
fore that a true education is not
merely the result of concentraWd
study and reading. These are a
part of a much greater process.
You may decide some afternoon
that it is more imPOrtant to you
that you take a walk with a friend
than it is to work on that re·
quire<! reading as you had origi·
nally planned. If that is your
choice, and you know that you
are not merely procrastinating or
rationalizing, take the walk. That
may be the afternoon during
which you discover a mystery
or beauty in your friend which
you bad never taken the time to
see belore. ,
Never become so wrapped up
You must be willing to open
your mind to ideas outside your
own realm of familiarity and to
successfully do that, you must
have contact with other persons
whose backgrounds are different
from yours.
The opPOrtunities lor success
and happiness at Nazareth Col·
lege a.re many. We hope that you
will take advantage of these of·
terings and allow yourself to
grow as a person as well as de·
veloping yourself as a scholar.

Dear Little Sisters,
On behall of your Big Sister
class, may r welcome you to
Nazareth! In participaitng in our
Big·Little Sister activities, you
will be doing much more than
continuing a tradition. You will
be strengthening the wonderful
spirit of Nazareth through shar·
ing, giving, receiving, and under·
standing.
College may be an abstract
word !or you as you begin, but it
is a word that will become more
of a reality with each day you
spend at Nazareth. Your Big Sis­ters
are most w!Uing to help
make college all that it is POS·
stble of becoming for their UtUe
Sisters. Please depend on them
and give them an opPOrtunity to
do their part in making Nazareth
much more than a college for
you. Typical Big Sister "duties"
might include tips on the library,
Theology, where to go. and even
what to do about Joe ...
The Big·LitUe Sister spirit can
be a vital one in your first year
at Nazareth. It's not meant to
last only during your f~rst hectic
week of Orientation. Let it grow
each week and it will!
This week's schedule is meant
to be a true introduction for each
of you to your college. r urge you
to attend all of your Orientation
activities -I know you'll enjoy
them and feel very welcome and
complete at Nazareth when t.bl$
week eomes to an end.
My best wishes for a wonderful
year, and my prayers that the
true Big·Little Sister spirit of
Nazareth may be continued and
strengthened by the Classes of
1968 and 1970.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Chester

Progress Report
A two-buildl.og.l.o-one dormi.tory
and office structure is now under
eanstructlon on the Naureth Col·
lege umpus.
Intended as a solution to the
college's problem of increased
office space versus increased stu·
dent Jiving space, the new $250,-
000 building will house eighty
freshman students in forty rooms
this fall.
Wben a fourth large perma­nent
dormitory is added later,
students will move out of the
building and it wlU be converted
into a faculty ofliee building.
Located in the rear of the pres·
ent college buildings, the :new
dorm wiU contain kitchen and
laundry facllltles as well as two
student lounges.
Architects Gi!lels and Rosetti
h~ve planned a tapestry brick
facing for the twe>-story building
which will bring it into harmony
with existing college structu:res.
An increase of about two hun­dred
students over last ye,ar's
regi• traUon, bringing the student
enrollment to approximately 1200,
more than haU of whom wilt be
residents on campus, has made
the need for this dormitory press·

The contractor for the building
Is the LeCesse Corporation.
The new Arts Center on the

Transfer of these departments
t·o the new Center will make more
classroom space available in tho

the $3.7 million Arts
Center was finaneed through a
$1,173.816.00 federal grant tm6er

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE
AND PLACEMENT CENTER
Location: Second Floor
Smyth Hall, Rooms 231-232.
The Placement Director is
available for part-time and
summer pla~ment for all
students and for full-time
placement for seniors and
alumnae of the college. Full
information on fellowships,
assistantships and other fi.
nancial aid.s is also available
in this office.
As part of the vocational
guidance program, the direc­tor
plans information pro­J:
rams and provides speakers
m various areas for sopho­mores
and seniors to which
other students are also in­vited.
A complete file of vo­cational
material is on file
in the reception area of the
oWce and is available to any
student who wishes to con·
suit the files.
Personal and Educational
Guidance
Recognizing the need for
guidance in such areas as
course choices, major sub­ject
decisions, and Qther re·
lated academic questions,
each student in her freshman
year (or entering Nazareth
after her freshman year) is
assigned an academic advisor
for her first two years at
Nazareth. This advisor is se­lected
for the student on the
basis of either her indicated
major field, or her indicated
lack of one (in the situation
of Jill "liberal arts majors"),
and is usually scheduled to
meet with the student in the
early days of orientation. In
her junior year, she will be
re-assigned to another advi­sor
in her chosen field, usu­ally
the head of her depart­ment.
Nazareth students are free
to choose a personal advisor
from among the ranks of the
faculty . . . this is generally
a professor to whom one can
talk easily, and with who:n
one has frequent contact.
One soon d.iscovers the kind·
ness, willingness, and open­ness
of the faculty and ad­ministration
members.

NA.Z.A.R, ETH COLLEGE DF AOCWESTER
Vol. ?OflO;..No. I NAZARETH COLLEGE, ROCHESTER, N. Y.
FROM THE PASTOR -FATHER SHANNON
Early t.bls summ~r I began to clve some thoucht to the subject
of this article: "The Identity CriJis of Today's College Student." II
all started when I wu ull:ed to give 1 talk at a eonvention of New·
man Club c:baplains on the practical and challenging topic: " How to
teach Theology to College Studenll." As I began thinldng about this
topic, ll seemed evident that It could not be adequately discussed
'!bout attempting some preliminary insigbll about today's college
student, the way he thinks and the Influences that affect him. For this
reason. t a-pent some time relleclinc on questions lii(e tne following:
What kind of person Is the college student of 11166? How does he re·
fleet the temper of the times? What problems does he encounter ln
. his search for personal Identity? What does he think about Christian·
ity and the Church?
Then, when Anno Walton a sked me to. write an article for Gle.:.ner,
U occurred to me that the students of Nazareth College, both "old
and "new," mlgbt perhaps be Interested ln some of the tentative an·
swus that I offered to the Newman Club chaplains on these questions.
So I present you the following reflections, hoping lor your comments
and reactloo.t.
1. The collece studeoll of today live In a pluralistic society; and
they are so Influenced by the pluralism of that society-with its rela·
tlvizatioo of values and Ita empbuis on freedom and eclecticism­that
they find It much more difficult than earlier generations to accept
absolutes 111 any area of We, and particularly in the fields of theology
and morality. This, I think, accounts for the popularity of Jobu A. T.
Robinsons' boob: his Roeest to Gocl (a rather poor book which, bow·
ever, menaces to uy some mighty good thincs) and his Qarlsllaa
orals TodiJ'. Thls aeeouoll, too, for the faselnatioo that situation
ethics in its most extreme form bas for today's eollege student.
2. The coUece suclenll today live 111 an urbanized, technological
'e(y, where prasmatlsm is the re~ pbllosophy and where sec·
alar values are most blcblY prlud. They are interested in this world
and want to become involved ln Ill problems (whether it be the racial
Issue or the war 111 VIet Nam); and If reliclon seems to them to have
turned Ill back on th1s world or seems to offer them lltUe that is
lmpo.rt•nt for • thb -workl involvement. then. lD their estimate . so
much the worst for reUcion. They refuse to be content with a philos·
ophy or theology of We which seems to offer them only " pie in the
s11:y when you dle." They are very much Interested in " pie on the
table now." In other words, they are students who read and are lm·
pressed by Harvey Cox and the Seeular City.
3. They are part of a world that Is not so much inellgious as non·
reUclous. It is a world "that,." 111 Bonhoeffet's enlgmatie phrase,
"God ls being Increasingly edged out of, now that it has come of age."
It is a world ln which many men have lumed to eope with all ques·
lions of Importance without referenee to God and religion. In such
a world it Is understandable that college students would be attracted
by Dietrich Bonhoclfer with his "rellglonless Christianity" and even
by Hamilton, Van Buren and Altizer with their radical .. "death of
God" theology.
They belong, these students, to an 11e that Is strongly Influenced
by existential thinking- which exalts human freedom, authenticity,
honesty and openness. They want, desperately, to be themselves,
however difllcult they find the quest for personal Identity. They want
to think for themselves, stand on their own feet, a.nd be thei.r own
consciences. They are unwilling to accept their beliefs merely seco~d·
banded. They are wary of paternalism and susptcious of authonty
that o'lerates with a heavv hand and without dialogue. They abhor
sham 'and pretense. Rellglous practices that are merely sllallow,
irrelevant extemallzations they find unattractive and meaningless.
True they sometimes eonfuse authenticity with self·asse.rtiveness,
and o~ess with an almost brutal t'l'ankness. At times their passion
for freedom b not always aceompanied by a corresPOnding sense of
re•poosibillty. Yet simply to write oU these values that they pri>e as
extremist gestures bem of youthful Immaturity, is to misunderstand
their genuine concern to achieve authenUe personal growth.
s They live ln an ace In which the Church bas beeome what Karl
Rahn~r eall• the "Church of the Dlaspora." By this be means that
Christians exist evuywbere 111 the world as small minorities Jiving
out their Uvea ln the midst of professional life, polltleal We and cui·
tllral We which in Its conscious motivation is not CbriJtian.
Being a CbriJUan today, therefore, no longer involves being
brought to Church ID one's pa.rents• arms: being ele~ by .the
ftters of baptism and then llvinJ in a tradttlonaUy Cbri.Stian socte(y

Why College?
Why Nazareth?
Hi! '70-we're glad to have you at Naza·
reth.
The title questions of this editorial resur·
rect, we assume, some very recent, very
difficult and possibly very painful memo­ries
of your own battles with them. The
struggle, however (ask any upperclassman!),
is not yet over; for these questions, which
indicate neither misplacement nor disloyalty
but intelligent self·mterest, ask themselves
each day of your college carer. And without
ever bemg answered.
The perennial "Is College for You" leaf­let
runs the entire gamut from pragmati·
cisms to idealisms in its taxonomy of the
advantages afforded by a continued aca·
demic career. And one is presented, in the
typical college tatalog, with every facility,
advantage, opportunity, or distinction re­motely
connected with said institution.
From such erudite propaganda, in addition
to advice from enthusiastic alumnae, and
perhaps a hurried tour around campus, the
very vital decisions of "should I go to col·
lege?", and "where?" are effected. The in­evitable,
but regrettable, result of this
rather chance system of selection (on the
part of the student, remember; administra­tive
selection programs are anything but
random, as all us middle-third, margin·
rankers well know) is the number of stu·
dents, however small (and Nazareth's num.
ber is exceptionally meager) who end up in
the wrong institution and transfer and, even
·more regrettably the dissatisfied ones who
don't transfer.
Insufficient knowledge is itself, of course
not responsible for dissatisfaction. Rather'
when inadequacies in· the system are mei
by ambitions within the individual (or vice
versa), a certain and very mutual disorien·
tation is immediately evident. These, how·
ever, must be serious inadequacies and im-
GLEANER
portant ambitions to arouse dissatisfaction
extensive enough to cause withdrawal, and
it is hoped that these students will with·
draw and attend the institution better able
to meet their needs.
This is not to say, of course, that less
serious inadequacies and ambitions, whether
of the institution or of the students, are to
be merely borne with. Contrarily, it is this
set of conditions with which the members
of an institution may contend as a cooper•·
live body. This cooperation prflupposes in
the student portion of the acting body, an
at least temporary affirmation of academic
vocation and general satisfaction with the
educative system which inspirits its chosen
college or university; it results from tbe
general desire for the most and the best
that the system can provide. This desire
leads (or ought to lead) to a thorough inves·
ligation and evaluation of the institution's
assets and liabilities: academic, administra­tive,
procedural, and policy.
It is at this point that our editorial ques­tions
challenge the individual student most
forthrightly. Still without answer, each
question faces the evaluation squarely, and
forces student commitment to the very im·
portant problem of academic fulfillment.
Whether he decides that the status quo is
satisfactory or that improvement must be
made, the decision is both personally sig·
nificant and academically valuable. What
is more important, he has met the challenge
of the questions, that, like the fox of the
Spartan boy, "gnaw at the vitals" of every
student intent on securing for himself the
fullest way of life possible. He and his in­stitution
are mutually committed.
But how does one go about excavating
such information? And what is the criteria
by which a fair evaluation can be made?
It is Gleaner's contention that, while inves·
ligation may be a coporate effort, evalua­tion
must be chiefly individual. (However,
it must be remembered that it is individual
evaluations that are responsible for the
formation of the pro·reform assemblages.)
And since it has been evident in the past
(witness the 1966 campaign speeches) that,
at Nazareth, student understanding of the
policies, procedures, facilities, and admin·
istrative and faculty organizations is in most
cases minimal (the blame rests in no one
area), we also feel that the student publi­cation
is the proper medium through which
such information may be transmitted.
An article in each subsequent issue of
Gleaner will be concerned with this "in­vestigation."
As bas been evident in the
past, members of the faculty and the ad­ministration
have been more than willing
to answer our questions. It is up to us to do
tb~ asking. Any questions, suggestions or
optmons should be directed, in letter. to the
editors. '? 7 ? ""/

From Your Student
Government President;
II is always nice to return to
Nazareth in the Fall- to see old
friends and to return to familiar
places- but also to see new races
and to make new friends. The
prospeCt of an entirely new
freshman class is indeed an ex·
dting one for Nazareth returnees.
Freshmen will soon diseover that
those wbo have already experi·
enced at least one year of life at
Nazareth are very anxious to
help new students quickly at·
quaint themselves with their col·
lege.
she is and bow much of a success
she ma.kes of her college years.
Some basic and all-encompassing
advice which might be handed
down to freshmen is that a col
lege provides the student only
with the opPOrtunity !or success.
Whether or not you take advan­tag-
e of this OPPOrtunity and the
way in which you go about it is
up to you.

to yourseU and to those around
you.
Nazareth offers many opPQr·
tunities to join clubs, to work on
social projects and to earn money
through campus employment. No
pressures will be placed on you
to join or to participate in any
activity. Don't expect to be able
to belong to as many groups as
your high school work load al·
lowed; however, don't cut your­sell
of! entirely from extracur·
ricu.Jar activities. Ag.Un, it is left

coming frosh. The eager fresh·
man will soon bave a complet"
knowledge of what to wear and
when, the most successful study
habits, all professors' marldng
systems and knows just what the
odds are that she will be asked
for a date at her first Nazareth
mixer.
Sometimes, when we are pass·
ing out advice, in our fervor to
help the freshmen adjust quickly
and completely, we upperelass·
men try to cover every little de­tail
of college llfe and to give an­swers
to all queries. Knowing a
lot of particular facts about 'what
things are like at Nazareth will
help a new student to come to
know her way around, but such
a knowledge does not guarantee a
student's adjustment to or suc·
cess at Nazareth College.
The individual student's attl·
tude will determine how happy
One of the first characteristics
of the Nazareth scene which you
will soon discover is that of the
freedom of student choice. You
will have to know yoursell well

begin your college days by mak­ing
your own decisions concern­ing

be in college, those areas in
which you wish to excel and how
you can best achieve that sue·

Surely you have been told be·
fore that a true education is not
merely the result of concentraWd
study and reading. These are a
part of a much greater process.

Personal and Educational
Guidance
Recognizing the need for
guidance in such areas as
course choices, major sub­ject
decisions, and Qther re·
lated academic questions,
each student in her freshman
year (or entering Nazareth
after her freshman year) is
assigned an academic advisor
for her first two years at
Nazareth. This advisor is se­lected
for the student on the
basis of either her indicated
major field, or her indicated
lack of one (in the situation
of Jill "liberal arts majors"),
and is usually scheduled to
meet with the student in the
early days of orientation. In
her junior year, she will be
re-assigned to another advi­sor
in her chosen field, usu­ally
the head of her depart­ment.
Nazareth students are free
to choose a personal advisor
from among the ranks of the
faculty . . . this is generally
a professor to whom one can
talk easily, and with who:n
one has frequent contact.
One soon d.iscovers the kind·
ness, willingness, and open­ness
of the faculty and ad­ministration
members.
